Plans for Lana on WWE SmackDown

As noted, Lana vs. SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi with the title on the line will take place at the June 18th WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view. Unless she wrestles next Tuesday night, the title shot at MITB would be Lana’s in-ring SmackDown TV debut.

Lana is supposed to be a heel now that she has made her arrival on WWE SmackDown but The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that it’s almost guaranteed she will be a babyface with the gimmick she’s being given. It was noted that Lana is basically working in the role that was slotted for Eva Marie. Eva is now focusing on her acting career and won’t be returning to work for WWE.
